The PLC-XF40 from Sanyo - one of the world's largest and most successful manufacturers of LCD projectors - is a truly professional, high-end device for fixed installations. A brightness of 7700 ANSI lumens and 700 : 1 contrast ratio guarantee powerful presentations. The PLC-XF40 is ideally suited for fixed installations in very large presentation rooms and movie theaters. Thanks to its powerful brightness, this projector is also suited for open-air broadcasts of sporting events and large events in broad daylight as well as for the projection of large-scale advertisements at airports or train stations. The resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA) can even be increased to SXGA or UXGA resolution levels using DRIT (Digital Realized Interpolation Technology).
A new 4-lamp system with four 200W lamps ensures fail-safe operation, if one of the 4 lamps fails, the projector switches to 2-lamp operation automatically. The available range of optional lenses is the same as with previous models; all of these lenses can be used without difficulty with the PLC-XF40 as well. With the power shift function, users can vary the position of the lens to the screen by up to 100% vertically. Various high-end connectors are available for use in a professional environment. The component interface for high-quality video transmission - using separate red, green and blue transmission - produces very sharp images with extremely accurate color quality. The DVI interface provides a direct connection between the digital image source and the projector. Loss of signal quality during transmission is now a thing of the past. The new progressive scan system also ensures an excellent video image. DVD and HDTV compatibility is also included with the PLC-XF40 of course. Additional functions like Freeze, Digital Zoom and No Show round off the extensive list of features of this projector.
